Milestones

17012012

So I started this blogging lark when a work colleague suggested it as a release for my pent up creative juices. Or something.

That was December 13th… exactly 5 weeks ago today. In that time I’ve apparently acquired 50 followers (including some email followers), and had 1200 hits on the blog’s various pages, with a peak of 149 in a single day. I am (to use a phrase from the old country) gob-smacked! These are not the figures of a more well-established blog I realise, but I’m amazed I’ve attracted so much attention with my random (quiet irrelevant) burblings.

Thank-you kind readers. I only hope you’ve found a few words of entertainment or even education along the way, in these scribblings.

Oh yes! The full litany of expletives. According to Peter Silverton (author of the wonderful FILTHY ENGLISH, the reason that an American cock is called a rooster and that a tap (once also called a cock) is called a faucet, is because of the pudency of the Americans; so they went around renaming things that had the word cock, amongst other things. It’s a great book.
